2009-12-15To supplement my terrible and sleep-deprived game preview, here’s a YouTube video of some of the Cavaliers’ strengths, weaknesses, and tendencies by Nets Are Scorching’s Sebastian Pruiti, who has one of the finest pure basketball minds on the entire network. Watch, learn, and discuss. See you in a few hours.
LeBron is staying! Here’s proof!
Very nice. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen such a complete breakdown of an entire team like this from just a single game.
I think a big key to this is also having young athletic personnel to actually be able to pull it off. A lot of the weaknesses he points out are based around Shaq being in the game. Mike Brown should really only be using him against teams with players similar to him (Dwight Howard, Bynum, etc.) Otherwise he’s a huge liability on defense for smaller lineups. If you look at his shots and %’s, the Cavs aren’t gaining a significant advantage with him out there on offense.
this was extremely interesting, but also kind of depressing that the Grizzlies of all teams were able to see how predictable our offensive sets are. Seeing the Grizzlies have success against our defense isn’t the most surprising thing, seeing as how they have many offensive weapons, but they are not a good defensive team but yet were able to pounce on our sets
